Philadelphia at New York

The folding Phillies are 25-53 in their last 78 road games and come into this one on a 2-6 skid. Phillies hurler 37-year-old Aaron Harang (5-14, 4.79 ERA) hasn't won since July 30 and is stuck with a bloated 7.71 ERA (58 earned runs in 67+ innings) in 12 starts since the end of May. He has issued seven walks in his last two outings, 14 in his last five, and the Phillies are 3-14 in Harang's last 17 starts. Meanwhile the Mets are on a 21-8 run, 41-12 as home chalk. Mets lefty Jonathon Niese (3.95 ERA) is getting it done, with the team 4-1 his last five starts and he is 2-0 against Philadelphia this season in 19 innings with a 2.79 ERA. The Mets have outscored the Phillies by a whopping 86-44 margin while winning 13 of the 14 meetings this season, including 10 in a row. The Phillies are also 16-36 against the Mets, as well as 1-10 at New York, so jump on the talented and surging home team and play on the NY Mets.
